• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I was working on my buddies clipped wing cub today and was trying to remove the heel brake master cylinders so I could rebuild them. Last time out one started leaking really bad...I think around the plunger. It failed completely and let all fluid out. The other side has also been leaking so just figure its time for a rebuild/reseal. The problem I'm having is there is no inspection panel to get to the inbd nuts that hold them on. Is there suppose to be a inspection panel there? Or do you have to cut fabric each time you remove these?

The INBD nuts are located basically between where you see the brake lines exiting the belly and alittle AFT.
